Our Senior Food Program: Elder Share
Free Groceries for Adults Ages 60+ in Chicago
Regardless of whether you are a senior with a fixed income, facing mobility challenges, or in need of assistance to access nutritious food, Sanad is committed to providing support. Our Elder Share program offers free groceries to older adults in Chicago twice a month, featuring a selection that includes fresh produce, milk, meat, frozen items, deli products, eggs, bread, pantry staples, and other nourishing options.
For caregivers or individuals caring for older family members, you can also register and/or collect food on their behalf.
You are eligible for the Elder Share program if: (1) you are 60 years of age or older; (2) you live in Chicago.
Upon your arrival, our staff and volunteers are dedicated to assisting you, whether it involves locating a delightful snack for your children or simply offering a friendly and supportive conversation!
